Oh but according to AT&T the only ones that might be lagging are the SMS texts where you are traveling and have to switch towers but will show up later on haaaaaaa nope sure won't and the iMessage ones I was told by ten techs or better say that to so you people need to make up your minds I have missed info and gaps in my records all the time then sometimes they are correct and we are in the same areas everyday and use the same ways of texting EVERYDAY I have logged this problem and watched it for months now and unexplained data that no one can account for shows up when the phones are completely shut down and all the push and network settings r off im sure u guys have a explaintion for that to but u aren't gonna convince me sorry and yes I have argued and argued about this it's caused me family trouble and caused my kids trouble as soon as our contract is up after 10 plus years of being a customer I will no longer be an AT&T customer.
Imessgae does not utilize SMS / MMS protocol's, they communicate directly with servers via a data connection that is run by Apple, they never hit the ATT record servers, the onyl exception to this is if the device being sent to is NOT a Iphone. Imessage is a Apple written application, if communicating to another Apple device it does not utilze the RFC protocols for SMS and MMS.
